Okay, let's break down the HS codes for your "PLASTIC BAGS" declaration. These codes all fall under Chapter 39: Plastics and articles thereof. Here's a detailed analysis to help you understand the classification and potential implications:
Overall Structure & Key Considerations
- 39: Chapter designation – Plastics and articles thereof. This means all these items are made of plastic.
- 3923: Specifically refers to "Articles for the conveyance or packing of goods, of plastics; stoppers, lids, caps and other closures, of plastics." This narrows it down to plastic items used for packaging.
- 3923.21: Focuses on "Sacks and bags (including cones)" made of polymers of ethylene (polyethylene – the most common type of plastic for bags).
Now, let's look at the specific codes you provided:
1. 3923.21.00.11 – Reclosable, with integral extruded closure (small size)
- 3923.21.00: Sacks and bags of polymers of ethylene.
- 3923.21.00.11: Specifically for reclosable bags with an integrated (extruded) closure mechanism, and no single side exceeding 75mm in length. Think small zip-lock style bags.
- Tax: 58.0% total tax (3.0% basic duty + 25.0% additional duty, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
2. 3923.21.00.20 – Reclosable, with integral extruded closure (with sliders)
- 3923.21.00.20: Similar to 3923.21.00.11, but these bags have sliders to open and close the seal. These are often used for food packaging.
- Tax: 58.0% total tax (3.0% basic duty + 25.0% additional duty, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
3. 3923.21.00.30 – Reclosable, with integral extruded closure (Other)
- 3923.21.00.30: Covers reclosable bags with integrated closures that don't fit the specific criteria of 3923.21.00.11 or 3923.21.00.20.
- Tax: 58.0% total tax (3.0% basic duty + 25.0% additional duty, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
4. 3923.21.00.80 – Other (small size)
- 3923.21.00.80: Covers sacks and bags of polymers of ethylene that are not reclosable, and no single side exceeding 75mm in length.
- Tax: 58.0% total tax (3.0% basic duty + 25.0% additional duty, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
5. 3923.21.00.85 – Polyethylene retail carrier bags (PRCBs) with handles
- 3923.21.00.85: Specifically for polyethylene retail carrier bags (PRCBs) with handles (including drawstrings), with dimensions between 6 inches (152.4 mm) and 40 inches (1,016 mm).
- Tax: 58.0% total tax (3.0% basic duty + 25.0% additional duty, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
6. 3923.21.00.95 – Other (general)
- 3923.21.00.95: A catch-all for sacks and bags of polymers of ethylene that don't fit into any of the more specific categories above.
- Tax: 58.0% total tax (3.0% basic duty + 25.0% additional duty, increasing to 30% after April 2, 2025).
Important Considerations & Recommendations:
- Material Verification: Ensure all bags are actually made of polymers of ethylene (polyethylene). If other plastics are used, the HS code will be different.
- Dimensions: Accurately measure the dimensions of your bags, especially the length and width. This is crucial for correct classification (e.g., 3923.21.00.85 has specific size requirements).
- Closure Type: Clearly identify the closure type (reclosable, drawstring, open-top, etc.).
- Handle Presence: Confirm whether the bags have handles or not.
- Tax Changes: Be aware of the upcoming tax changes on April 2, 2025.
- Certification: Depending on the end use of the bags (e.g., food contact), you may need specific certifications (e.g., FDA compliance for food-grade bags). Check the import regulations of your destination country.
- Detailed Invoice: Provide a detailed invoice with accurate descriptions, materials, dimensions, and quantities for each type of bag.
To help me refine the classification further, could you tell me:
- What is the primary use of these bags? (e.g., food packaging, retail, industrial)
- What is the thickness of the plastic?
- Can you provide a sample of each type of bag? (If possible)
